Arbaaz Khan has been keeping busy. Catching up with the dapper producer on a sunny afternoon at his office in Bandra, one can tell life has only gotten busier. He recently got married again and one can glimpse the afterglow on his face, alright. The personal questions, though, are off-limits. As we start our conversation, he gets a call from his better half. His voice softens and his eyes sparkle as he talks to Sshura Khan. A quick, intimate chat later, he's all set to continue the interview. And yes, no personal goss rule still applies. Arbaaz met Sshura Khan, who is Raveena Tandon's makeup artist, on the sets of his latest production Patna Shukla. The project, starring Raveena Tandon and the late Satish Kaushik, marks a departure from his most well-known works, including the Dabangg film series starring his elder brother Salman Khan. Having decided that acting isn't his cup of tea, Arbaaz is surer than ever that his career in showbiz will now be as a producer. He speaks candidly about his work, family values and more in an exclusive interview.
